Magniberg, a Swedish brand specializing in premium bedding, has launched its first-ever blanket collection dubbed 'Bold Blanket.'
All of the new blankets are constructed from premium virgin wool and boast an oversized and heavyweight design. In addition, they come in a range of eye-catching colorways including 'Disco Blue,' 'Oyster White,' 'Ice Skating Pink,' 'Juicy Orange,' and more. Similar to Magniberg's bedding, the 'Bold Blanket' collection has a distinctly fashion-forward appeal.
"In the past, whenever I’ve looked for a blanket, they are often a bit bland and neutral in color and weirdly small. I think that a blanket should be a possession of comfort. You don’t want it small. Everything about it must be more. It should be soft, heavier, more wool. And I wanted color, not a blanket that disappear into the background," said Magniberg co-founder Bengt Thornefors.
